Palletizing
Server-driven pallet building with live progress feedback.
Mixed-spec cartons arrive at the pack station on a conveyor. The packer takes one off, presents it to the fixed barcode scanner, and the Robot terminal asks the server whether it belongs on the current pallet. The server replies with an accept / reject and the live pallet count — 1/80, 2/80, …, 80/80 — until the pallet is complete.
Server-driven pallet building
Even when the conveyor delivers a mix of cultivars, grades, and customer specs, every packer's pallet ends up exactly right. The server holds the spec for each open pallet; the packer just scans and stacks.
Scan-to-confirm
- Fixed scanner at the pack station — one quick presentation per carton
- Robot terminal shows accept / reject in real time
- No manual sorting — the server makes the call
Live pallet progress
- Big on-screen counter — 1/80, 2/80, … all the way to 80/80
- Pallet-complete alert and a print-the-pallet-label prompt
- Operator never has to count — no missed-carton mistakes
Mixed-flow handling
- Conveyor can carry any mix of cultivars, grades, and customers
- Each station picks its own — server arbitrates
- Pass-through cartons recirculate to the next station
Built-in audit trail
- Every scan recorded as a structured event with operator, station, and pallet
- Every wrong-pallet attempt caught and logged
- Per-packer throughput falls out of the audit data
Why this approach
No mis-built pallets
Wrong-spec cartons are caught at the scan, not at dispatch — saves rework and rejection costs.
No counting
The packer focuses on stacking. The Robot keeps count and signals when the pallet is complete.
Mixed flow, single line
A single conveyor carries any mix of specs — no pre-sort lanes, no manual triage upstream.
Per-packer metrics
Live throughput per packer — supports incentive schemes and surfaces training opportunities.
